Scholars date the emergence of the people of Liburnia to around the turn of the first millennium BC, i.e. during the transition from the Bronze to the Iron Age, and their autonomy lasted until the Roman dominion.1 In the Roman period, the aforementioned territory was an integral part first of the province of Illyricum and, subsequently, of the province of Dalmatia, which was set up during the reign of Augustus (see Fig. 1). The Liburni were, as far as we know, quite amicable towards the Romans, collaborating with them even before the organisation of provinces, which consequently accelerated the cultural exchange between the two nations. Still, even in such changed political and organisational circumstances, the Liburni were always able to preserve their own individuality and sense of territorial cohesion.2 Prof. Anamarija Kurilić, PhD, Department of History, University of Zadar; e-mail: [email protected].

In fact, according to Strabo (6.2.4), for some time during the eighth century BC, the Liburni held ancient Corcyra, until they were cast out by Greek settlers.3 As such, the region was visited by foreigners from the West and the East, which is attested by finds of Mycenaean,4 Apulian and Greek pottery as well as by literary sources that mention Greek sailors in the Adriatic from the seventh century BC onward.5 In the Roman period trade only intensified, which is also attested by numerous seaports, underwater archaeological sites but also by imported goods found along the coast and deeper into the hinterland. Furthermore, one of the highly important sea routes, the eastern maritime route connecting Northern Italy with Greece, Asia Minor and Egypt, went along the Liburnian coast, using almost exclusively this side of the Adriatic due to the existence of safe anchorages, coves and favourable currents.6 “Granice Liburnije kroz stoljeća” [Borders of Liburnia through Centuries], Radovi Instituta JAZU u Zadru 2 (1955): 273-296. 3 Cf.

  • Illyrian Religion and Nation As Zero Institution
    Studies in Visual Arts and Communication: an international journal Vol 3, No 1 (2016) on-line ISSN 2393 - 1221 Illyrian religion and nation as zero institution Josipa Lulić * Abstract The main theoretical and philosophical framework for this paper are Louis Althusser's writings on ideology, and ideological state apparatuses, as well as Rastko Močnik’s writings on ideology and on the nation as the zero institution. This theoretical framework is crucial for deconstructing some basic tenants in writing on the religious sculpture in Roman Dalmatia, and the implicit theoretical constructs that govern the possibilities of thought on this particular subject. This paper demonstrates how the ideological construct of nation that ensures the reproduction of relations of production of modern societies is often implicitly or explicitly projected into the past, as trans-historical construct, thus soliciting anachronistic interpretations of the material remains of past societies. This paper uses the interpretation of religious sculpture in Roman Dalmatia as a case study to stress the importance of the critique of ideology in the art history. The religious sculpture in Roman Dalmatia has been researched almost exclusively through the search for the presumed elements of Illyrian religion in visual representations; the formulation of the research hypothesis was firmly rooted into the idea of nation as zero institution, which served as the default framework for various interpretations. In this paper I try to offer some alternative interpretations, intending not to give definite answers, but to open new spaces for research. Keywords: Roman sculpture, province of Dalmatia, nation as zero institution, ideology, Rastko Močnik, Louis Althusser.

    A PRELIMINARY GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF RELIEF CERAMICS FROM THE NADIN NECROPOLIS A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Elizabeth Gaj Proctor August 2019 © 2019 Elizabeth Gaj Proctor ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This paper analyzes a collection of Hellenistic mold-made relief vessels discovered during the 2018 season of the Nadin-Gradina Archaeological Project through non-destructive portable x-ray fluorescence (pXRF). Archaeometric analysis allows for a reconsideration of previous conclusions about the origins of these vessels and possible trade connections at the site of Nadin. The goal of this study is to determine potential source groups for these vessels through their geochemical composition. While the suitability of pXRF as an analytical tool for archaeological ceramics has been debated, the qualitative design of this research project and the physical characteristics of these vessels allow pXRF to be utilized successfully. Statistical analysis of pXRF results indicate the presence of multiple source groups represented in the samples. The attribution of most of these samples to a smaller number of potential source groups indicates a strong connection between the residents of Nadin and at least two production centers. This thesis is intended to suggest preliminary conclusions about potential sources and suggest areas of further study to better understand the trade connections that brought these vessels to Nadin and the role of Nadin in the Ravni Kotari landscape. ii BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Elizabeth Gaj Proctor received her BA from the University of Maine in 2017, majoring in Anthropology and minoring in Art History and Medieval and Renaissance Studies.

  • The Inscription of Cohors Iii Alpinorum from Cecela Near Drniš (Dalmatia) and the Question of the Roman Military Presence in Petrovo Polje During the Principate
    THE INSCRIPTION OF COHORS III ALPINORUM FROM CECELA NEAR DRNIŠ (DALMATIA) AND THE QUESTION OF THE ROMAN MILITARY PRESENCE IN PETROVO POLJE DURING THE PRINCIPATE Nikola CESARIK Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts Institute for Historical and Social Sciences in Rijeka Abstract: New insights about the previously unpublished inscription of [email protected] cohors III Alpinorum, located in the Archaeological Museum in Zadar, are brought to light.

So far, eight inscriptions with the record of Roman auxiliary units were found in the area of Petrovo polje, thus the inscription from Cecela should not be considered as an isolated DOI: 10.14795/j.v7i2.533 case, but rather as a part of a relatively larger group of epigraphic records ISSN 2360 – 266X of Roman auxiliary units. The inscriptions were found in several locations (Tepljuh, Otavice, Kadina Glavica, Umljanovići) and as such, they represent ISSN–L 2360 – 266X the foundation of a hypothesis for the existence of several Roman auxiliary forts in Petrovo polje. On the other hand, it has recently been suggested that only one fort should be located in Petrovo polje, i.e. in the wider area of Kadina Glavica. The proposed location for the auxiliary fort is found at the slope below the place name “Glavičina” in the area of the village of Parčić near Kadina Glavica.

  • Implementation of International Cultural Tourism Route
    Implementation of International Cultural Tourism Route “HADRIATICA” Since prehistoric times there have been strong links between civilizations and cultures of the western and eastern coast of the Adriatic. However, the first time both sides of Adriatic were united in one state was at the time of Roman Empire – the central part of Italy and east coast of the Adriatic which was largely formed by the Roman province of Dalmatia, extended by the coastline from Raša River in Istria to the Lješ, ancient Lissus in today's Albania. The Roman presence is solid in each partner area under the form of monuments, theaters, villas/houses, mosaics, ports, bridges, military places, archaeological parks, museums, information points, etc. The main theme of the International Cultural Route "Hadriatica Romana" is to present the monuments and political, economic and cultural processes that took place between both sides of the Adriatic coast during Roman domination. The key locations of the route are: CROATIA Zadar county The specific locations within Zadar County as an integral part of the route are Zadar, Nin, Nadin, and Aserija (near Benkovac – village Podgrađe). Primorje-Gorski Kotar County The specific locations within Primorje-Gorski Kotar County as an integral part of the route are located in the city of Rijeka (site Principa at Tarsatica), on the island of Krk (Omišalj, site Fulfinum Mirine) and on the island of Lošinj (Mali Lošinj, site Museum of Apoxyomenos). 2 Šibenik-Knin County The specific locations within Šibenik-Knin County that will be integral part of the route are: Burnum, a Roman settlement, museum and amphitheatre; Scardona, a Roman settlement and important military port; Roman Varvaria, Bribirska glavica archeologic site/fort; Rider archeological site, settlement of indigenous Delmatae people; Magnum, Roman settlement on the road Aquileia – Dyrrachium; Great Mrdakovica, a roman archeologic site with functional cistern; Colentum, a settlement of indigenous community of people of Liburnia in the Roman period.

    Map 20 Pannonia-Dalmatia Compiled by P. Kos and M. Šašel Kos, 1995 Introduction The map covers very heterogeneous landscapes ranging from the Adriatic coast to the Alps, and from the mountainous interiors of the provinces of Dalmatia and Pannonia with their rich ore sources to the Pannonian plain. The current state of research–to some degree reflected by the map–is uneven. Thus the Carinthian province of Austria (Piccottini 1989), Slovenia (ANSl 1975), and Bosnia and Herzegovina (ALBiH) are better explored topographically than other regions where no compilations of archaeological sites have been published. The results of topographical research conducted over the past thirty years by Bojanovski (1988) are of great importance. Much antiquarian and topographic information has been collected for Histria and Venetia by Vedaldi Iasbez (1994), with particular attention to Greek and Latin writers. Similarly substantial collection and assessment of data for the Dalmatian coast and islands are provided by Kozličić (1990). TIR Tergeste (1961), TIR Aquincum (1968) and TIR Naissus (1976) are also of value for the areas they cover, though not always reliable. Mócsy’s work (RE Suppl. 9 Pannonia) remains fundamental for the province of Pannonia. As Kozličić (1986) has shown, since antiquity geomorphological changes along the Dalmatian and Istrian coasts have been minimal, if only because no very large rivers flow into the Adriatic; the map therefore retains the modern coastline. The coast of the eastern Adriatic is, however, sinking at a minimal rate annually (Šegota 1976). Geographic names by no means always appear in the nominative in the Greek and Latin sources; the point applies especially to ItAnt, ItBurd, TabPeut and GeogRav, which often represent the only evidence.
